Many Russian platoons only had 15-18 personnel. They still had an officer, an SNCO, and NCOs. USMC squads are approximately the same size and led by NCOs. The bigger issue was the lack of contract infantry privates to fill out these platoons, and they were too top-heavy. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

Regarding my 2nd point, one of the key weaknesses that people on TV or in articles are mentioning to explain the Russian military's failures is the lack of a professional NCO corps. I don't think this is the problem or the correct explanatory variable. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Russia's NCO corps is a weakness, but it wasn't the reason for the Russia's issues in Ukraine and I don't think it really explains the lack of low-level initiative either. A narrative is already forming that this is a key problem, and I don't think the data support that claim. 7/ — PolitiTweet.org
